I definitely grew up in an era when nu-metal ruled the radio as well as the music video channels.
While bands like Korn and Deftones paved the way for this sound in the mid-90s, I was more influenced by the two big players that came at the turn of the millenium: Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.
Limp Bizkit receive unprecedented hatred by a number of music fans because of lead singer Fred Durst's reputation as a "douche", and while it might be true - other metal artists (Max Cavalera) seem to have this opinion - it does not take away from the band's fantastic work.
Break Stuff is one of Limp Bizkit's signature songs, coming from their big-selling second album, Significant Other.
There's a groove formed by the guitar riff and drums that pulses continuously throughout the song which allows Durst's rapping to come through nicely during the verses.
I love how raw all the instruments sound - and the mix is fantastic - you can just about her all the instruments, but it all sounds cohesive and locked in especially during the choruses.
